He cannot deposit such cash towards PF in the company. Because if company accepts this deposit; Section 58A is attracted of the Companies Act,1956.
Further; penal action under Section 269T of the Income-Tax Act will also be applicable.
Even in PPF account which is opened by Banks and Post Office; more than 70,000/- in a year is not allowed.
